    1.8T suspension Creek

    I am going to buy the full control arms set from e-bay for £200 and fit the lot I think. Checking the car last night it looked like it was the lower rear arm as it had a fair amount of play but if I buy one and it's not that I'll end up doing the lot anyway. Plus at 157,500 miles I expect...

    lol! If anyone else has any experience of supply of these arms please let me know. I can fit them myself no problem, just don't want to fit some low quality items that won't last.

    1.8T suspension Creek

    The arms are avaliable from GSF for a resonable price, I think the bulljoints also wear so poly bushes aren'r my best option. I'll take a look tonight but nothing obviously worn, guess I'll end up just replacing the lot both sides and be done with it.....got a GSF catalogue here..........full...

    1.8T suspension Creek

    Hi All, My 1998 1.8T has developed a creeking from the drivers side front suspension, only noticable been stop and turning the wheel left and right and slightly at low speed, seems OK when moving so I assume it only when there is more resistance on the road wheel. I've had a look over and...

    A4 Key Question?

    I have a 1998 A4 1.8T Sport, I have an original Audi key with the car which contains just a small light to illuminate the key lock. My question is, should my car have a remote key which unlocks the doors etc? or would the key I have be how it was supplied? Thanks Damian
